David Njoku Status

rotoWire
Njoku recorded four receptions on five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Steelers.

What it means:

Njoku finished second on the team in both targets and receptions, behind only Nick Chubb. He hauled in a 10-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter to tally the first score by either team in the game. With Sunday's effort, Njoku will close the 2022 season with a career-high 58 receptions despite playing in only 14 games. He'll likely continue to see a significant role in the offense in 2023, pairing with Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones as the Browns' top pass catchers.
rotoWire
Njoku caught one of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders in Week 17.

What it means:

It was a quiet volume day for the passing attack despite quarterback Deshaun Watson throwing for three touchdowns. Watson attempted just 18 throws, and Njoku had his fewest targets since Week 11. A hopeful sign for the receivers and organization is that Watson looked like the quarterback Cleveland thought it was getting in the second half. That's when he completed 6-of-10 passes for 146 yards and three TDs.
rotoWire
Njoku secured two of five targets for 14 yards in the Browns' 17-10 loss to the Saints on Saturday.

What it means:

Njoku turned in a modest performance on a day that wasn't exactly conducive to the passing game, with Amari Cooper the only member of the air attack to put up fantasy-worthy numbers. The veteran tight end still managed to extend his multi-catch streak to 11 games, and he'll have a better matchup overall against the Commanders on the road in a Week 17 clash on Sunday, Jan. 1.
rotoWire
Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after logging a full practice listing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

What it means:

Njoku's practice reps were limited Tuesday and Wednesday, but the tight end's return to a full session Thursday has him ready to go for Saturday's contest. Through 11 games to date, Njoku has recorded a 51/551/3 stat line on 67 targets, a pace that keeps the 2017 first-rounder on the fantasy lineup radar this weekend, while facing a New Orleans defense that has allowed an average of 195.1 passing yards thus far.

David Njoku (knee) limited for Cleveland

What it means:

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was limited at practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 16's game against the New Orleans Saints. Njoku continues to manage a knee injury and logged another limited practice on Wednesday. He has played through the injury for the past several games, and barring a setback, should do so again in Week 16. Our models expect him to see 4.9 targets against the Saints. Njoku's Week 16 projection includes 3.2 receptions, 33.7 yards, 0.16 touchdowns, and 6.1 FanDuel points. His salary is $5,800.
rotoWire
Njoku (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

What it means:

The same was true Tuesday, with Njoku listed on the practice report ever since missing Week 13 with a knee injury. He's played 96 and 94 percent of snaps in two games since, and should get plenty of playing time this Saturday against the Saints, albeit in a game that may not have many pass attempts due to bad weather.
